Looking for a Red Laser. Need Help.

I'm just curious what would be the highest power red you could get without having to wear safety glasses?
 





Well...if you operate any laser over 5mW, it is STRONGLY recommended to wear safety goggles. Most people don't but better to pay a few bucks than screwing up your eyes!
So as long as you don't look directly in the diode (NEVER DO THIS!), I guess your OK for not wearing some...I have my PHR (90-100mW), without glasses its not to bright and I never notcied anything funny with my eyes when I took off my glasses to see.

Im not the best person to answer this question but I recommend safety goggles for anything over 5mW!
